Hallelujah! That’s how one or two collectors of the pocket monsters might sound, because after Galar Pantimos was given away ticket-exclusively to hunters in 2020 and aroused great displeasure in the community, nothing more had been heard of the mon – until now! Because in not one, but two limited researches, in which everything is about friendship and catching Pokémon, you can meet not only one, no, but two real Galar-Pantimos. Well, if that’s not something! Is it? Well?
Mini event: Winter wonderland
From Saturday, December 25, 2021 at 10:00 to Sunday, December 26 at 20:00 the mini-event Winter Wonderland will take place. A collector’s challenge awaits you, for which you have until December 31 at 20:00. Here you do not have to go into the wild and catch all kinds of Pokémon, but TAUSCHEN! The task is not too difficult, because all Pokémon are catchable during the event, should you not have caught them before.
The following Pokémon must be exchanged:
- Squeak
- Snipe
- Seemops
- Shnebedeck
- Gelatini
- Petznief
The reward for completing the quest is a Galar Pantimos! Also, a bonus is active for the Winter Wonderland challenge! The swap distance is increased during the event, from December 24, 2021 starting at 19:00 until December 27, 2021 at 19:00, and you can swap Pokémon over a distance of up to 40 kilometers!
There will also be additional field research tasks for which you can receive a Christmas Botogel.
Pokémon GO
Pokémon Go is the mobile spin-off of Nintendo’s popular Pokémon game series for Android and iOS. It is a so-called “location-based game”, i.e. a game that uses the player’s immediate surroundings. It is based on the principle of augmented reality.
Pokémon Map: Between landmarks and sights
Pokémon Go uses a Global Positioning System (GPS) to determine the player’s location and displays it on a map that also represents the playing field. The map is based on OpenStreetMap maps. The game is played mostly outdoors and uses landmarks, landmarks and other notable or eye-catching objects in the world to position either PokéStops or arenas there for you to battle for supremacy. Join either Team Intuition (Team Yellow, Zapdos), Team Wisdom (Team Blue, Arktos), or Team Daring (Team Red, Lavados). Under their flag you can then fight for the arenas, which are placed at hotspots like churches or similar. Pokémon can appear anywhere, though.
Pocket monsters visible on the Pokémon Go Map are randomly loaded into the game’s virtual map by the game server. If several players are playing in the same location, each player can see and catch the Pokémon independently of the others.
Pokémon Go Updates, News, Raids and More
The developers at Niantic regularly provide Pokémon Go with new updates or special raids that should only be tackled in a group of several people. The Pokémon Go Raids are therefore very popular, as they also offer the prospect of particularly rare Pokémon. For example, in the past, legendary Pokémon could always be caught on special occasions (Pokémon Go events). For particularly eager mobile or smartphone Pokémon trainers, there is also an external IV calculator, such as the online tool from Pokemon.gameinfo.io or on Pokefans.net, to check the values of your Pokémon.
